How to read nonfiction… Try to separate facts from opinions. The writer has chosen facts that present a certain picture of the subject. Think about what might be missing as well as what is there. Think about the writer’s purpose. Is the writer trying to win you over to his or her opinion? Learn to appreciate how well a writer says something, even when you don’t agree. Be a critical reader.
